Meet Jessica Chastain, Who Just Won The Most Coveted Role Of The Century -- Princess Diana

It’s common for young stars, when they’re trying to break in, to take on any old role just to get their name out there. (Hey, who else is going to step up for stuff like “Step Up”?)But there’s been no such unfiltered grabbing on the part of Jessica Chastain, who just won the incredibly sought-after role of Princess Diana.

In the past year alone, Chastain — whom we feel safe saying still isn’t a household name — has popped up in an impressive number of impressive films.
